Carlos Alberto Mendiola Escobedo is an engineering physics (BEP) graduate from Tecnológico de Monterrey. His experience is divided in industrial projects, having worked in Ternium Mexico and Rockwell Automation; and research projects, having received training in the nanosensors and devices research group at his alma mater and collaborating with the microscale bioseparations lab at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). His current research interests encompass voltage optimization in direct-current insulator-based electrokinetic devices (low-V DC-iEK), and the use of alternating-current insulator-based electrokinetic (AC-iEK) systems for analytical separations of microparticles and cells.
